COMBINATION-BED.

To all whom t may concern Be it known that I, SVEN LUNDBLAD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seward city, Territory of Alaska, have invented a new and useful Combination-Bed,v

sleeping accommodation.

The combination consists of bedstead, mattress, bedcover, pillow-cover, and sleeping-bag, all in one. can be described separately.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a top view of the bed' or sleeping-bag mounted on the bedstead. Fig. 2 is a side-view of the bed illustrating principally the four sets of cross-pieces, used as legs, which, when in p'lace, have their bearings on the ground at all times, thus dividing the stretch sidewise and lengthwise, when a burdenv that spreads the legs is placed on top of the canvas. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the mounted combination or the combination cut in two, showing parts of bedstead, mattress, bed-cover, `pillow-cover, the two smaller cross-pieces, used as legs, in part, and one of the two bigger cross-pieces, also used as legs, the first mentioned cross-pieces stretching against the side poles, the latter against the end-poles. Fig. l. is a top-view showing. in dotted lines where the crosspieces or legs lit in in the side-poles and in the end-poles respectively, the cross-pieces folded together, and other parts. an end view of the mounted bed or sleeping bag, showing principally the-adjustment of one of the smaller crosspieces or legs into one of the two side-poles.

The bedstead is composed of two smaller cross-pieces, 6, and two bigger cross-pieces, 7, all used as legs, two side-poles, 8, and two end-poles, 9, each numeral to be more fully explained as the specification proceeds and touches parts connected with them.

The mattress is composed of a canvastick, 10, filled with stuffing, 11, any kind of which is handily found, such as spruceboughs, leaves or grass, whenever a stop is made or the bed is to be used.

The bedcover is a flap of canvas, l2, the width of the bed, that extends from the foot of the bed to the head and which together with the mattress and laceable extensions of the mattress-tick, called retainers,

13, forms a sleeping-bag of superior worth.

It can be regulated tight or loose according to the prevailing temperature by means of a lacing-gear, 14. A y

The pillow cover, 15, is a flapofcanvas, turned over the contents of a pillow as demonstrated below.

The four sets of cross-pieces, each joined together with a bolt, 16, are the legs, the two smallerV ones stretching against the sidepoles, 8,l that run lengthwise between two seams on the canvas, the two-bigger ones Y against the' end poles, 9, which vare inserted in sleeves, sewed on crosswise on the bottomsheet of the canvas. All four 'cross-pieces touch the ground, used as they are as legs, none as'stretchers only. p. The relative length of these legs is regulated so as rto give a simultaneous stretch sidewise and lengthwise on the canvas when a weight is placed on the bed. 'A perfect balance is effected through this arrangement, as the legs take rposition according to the pressure yfrom above, while the heft on the long side-poles, by means of the tension lengthwise on the canvas, is considerably lessened to avoid a breakage. The V-shaped cuts, 17, in the upper ends of the smaller crosspieces fit in incisions, 18, on the ends of the side-poles. The V-shaped cuts, 19, on the upper ends of the bigger crosspieces fit in incisions, 20, on the ends of the end-poles.

The canvas is doubled, the upper and lower sheets being even` along the sides. Two sets of seams run lengthwise to make room for the side poles and determine the width of the bed. The canvas continues on the outer side of the side-poles, where it is turned up in order to form the retainers, 13, for the bedding. These retainers are held in place by laces, 14, running zig-zag through loopholes from one retainer to the other, starting at the foot end ofthe bed. This makes it handy for the occupant of the bed to tie the laces across the body to suit. At the foot end the canvas is open sheet of which is cut off, while the lower extends and is folded over on top of the "to receive the filling of the tick, the upper clothes.

lower extends to form a pillow-cover under which anything, as, for instance, the clothes you remove when going to bed, 1s placed, 1f no other filling 1s handy. When the p1llow is formed the pillow flap is buttoned or Y one end of the bed bottom and adapted toV overlie the bed-bottoni tov form aV mattress by inelosing a filler between it and the bed bottom, and a short lapseeured to the same end of the bed bottom and adapted to be folded over said long flap to form a pillow by including a filler between itself and said long'rflp- Y 2. A sleeping bag comprising a flexible :53 bottom, a downwardly extending flap fas- -tened to Vthe bottom near the head end adapted to overlie Va filling and thereby form a mattress, another flap at the head end adapted to overlie a filling and thereby form a pillow, and a third flap at the foot end adapted to .be laid back over said mattress :and pillow.

3. A sleeping bag comprising a flexible bottom, a downwardly extending flap fas* tened to the bottom nearV the head end adapted to oyerlie a filling and thereby form a mattress, another flap at the head end adapted to oyerlie a filling and thereby form a pillow, a third flap at the foot end adapted to be laid back over said mattress and pillow, and side flaps secured to the bottom along the sides and drawn together in the middle of the bed by ala-Ging.

el. A camp bed comprising a flexible bottem with a hem at each side forming tubes, e

poles extending through said tubes, iiaps attached'ito the bottom near the ends forming similar tubes, pairs of crossed legs at the ends, piyotally connected, supporting the longitudinal poles, and pairs of crossed legs at the sides, pivotally connected, supporting the transverse poles.
